Disney announced a several new additions to its parks at the company's annual D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif., but it was the news about its new "Star Wars" hotel that had fans quivering in their Darth Vader pajamas. Characters, including B-8, Chewbacca and members of the First Order, will interact with visitors, and guests will have a chance to participate in multiple storylines. All guests will get a storyline which Disney says will "touch every single minute of your days". There will be a Ratatouille attraction in the France pavilion at World Showcase, a Guardians of the Galaxy attraction at Epcot, and "in Future World, a new Green Mission atMission: SPACE will take guests on a stunning tour around the Earth, and an updated Orange Mission will make the trip to Mars even more spectacular".

The video includes a lot of great footage, both in-game and from the motion capture of several of the main characters.

At the cantina, a familiar face will play DJ: Rex, the former pilot of the Star Tours ride. Disney recently came up with trailers upon trailers of all the new experiences they are going to bring to you.

The Imagineers call this guy "Jake" and he would not stand still for a photo. Guests will have the opportunity to explore a never-before-seen world and interact with creatures and droids from the movie franchise. J.J. Abrams, Tom Karnowski and Jason McGatlin are the executive producers.

"As you move through the areas, you might be recruited to join one side or the other", Scott Mallwitz, ‎executive creative director at Walt Disney Imagineering, told the Orange County Register.
